We start out with Demi on the phone with some
guy, she in what might be her apartment and he standing on a sidewalk, possibly
homeless but wearing a cute little stocking cap. We have no idea what they’re
talking about, but since they’re still young and haven’t had much experience in
life, it’s probably not important. They both seem to be grimacing, so it might
not be a happy call, but at least they’re both cute.
Then they hang up, with Guy heading into some
building and Demi turning to face us so we can see her better as she begins to
sing. And apparently she wants to tell us about happier times in their
relationship, because suddenly we are whisked away to a scene with the two of
them painting a room and having far more fun than one should when doing
something labor-intensive and repetitive. (Maybe the paint fumes were really
special that day? Or there might have been drinking. Everything is more
exciting with alcohol.)
Anyway, we cut to Guy sitting on a couch
somewhere as he sighs and turns a framed photo of the youngsters face down.
This is supposed to show his dissatisfaction with the relationship, but I’m
really more invested in his odd coffee table with the really wide gaps in it
where stuff is just going to fall through and stain the Pottery Barn throw rug. Then he just sits there and looks lost and
sad, despite sitting next to a really cute fuzzy pillow that he clearly didn’t
pick out on his own.
Zip back to Demi, who is briefly wandering
around in an unexplained room that features a searchlight or maybe a UFO, then
she’s back in her apartment, going through a box of her own photos. She has
hundreds of smiling-couple photos, which seems a bit obsessive to me, but it
gives her something to play with until it’s time for the next chorus. Then Demi
appears to have an idea which inspires her to leap up and run out of the room
without bothering to let us know where she’s going.
Turns out that she’s managed to change her
outfit and is now wandering down a darkened street in the middle of the night,
which is always a safe thing for a young lady to be doing. Whoops, now she’s
back in the apartment, running around and snatching up more hundreds of photos
of her and the beau. (Did those two ever do anything in their relationship
besides pose?) Brief scene with the two of them practicing the Heimlich
Maneuver in a kitchen somewhere, then Demi grabs her big-ass duffle bag of
snapshots and heads out the door again.
She’s back on that questionable late-night
street again, warbling and walking, then she’s in the strange room with the
possible UFO, where she belts out part of the song that makes her and her
leather jacket look really anguished and distraught. While all of this is going
on, we also get a montage of the happy couple being happy in various locations
before recent events made them less happy. (Did the batteries run out on their
cameras? That can kill a
relationship, sure can.)
Then we have Demi arriving outside a vague
building where she proceeds to start pinning some of the thousands of photos to
a wall. We have no idea why she’s doing this, but at least it gives her
something to do while the producers kick off another montage of the couple in
better times before The Bad Thing happened. This batch of memories mainly
involves the two of them driving around in places full of sunshine and,
naturally, taking pictures of one another. Oh, and there’s also some business
with the two of them playing peekaboo behind some white curtains, because
that’s a true sign of a mature relationship.
We check back with Picture-Arranging Demi,
and she’s been really busy. She’s managed to cover a big chunk of wall space
with selections from her photography trove, and it doesn’t look like she’s planning
to stop any time soon. (Girl must have been hitting the coffee hard this morning.) Meanwhile, Wandering
Demi and UFO-Room Demi are still wailing the song and making dramatic faces
about the pain of having no one in your life to take pictures of you.
We get a final round of images of the
sun-kissed couple making boring activities like walking or cleaning out the
lint trap on the dryer look sexy and fun, we revisit UFO-Room Demi as she belts
out the closing bit of the song, and we start to wrap things up with a return
to Picture-Arranging Demi as she scrambles to plaster that wall with images of
her and Guy eating lobster and riding in bumper cars. Cut to Guy’s apartment,
where he happens to glance out his window and sees that Demi’s thousands of
pictures on the wall of that building has created one giant image that
magically, when seen from a block away, morphs into yet another shot of the two
of them posing for the camera.
Awwww. But seriously, how much do these
people spend on photo supplies? And what was up with that UFO?
